Memorial – Annually, in about October and November, banners are displayed in Barrie, Ontario, to commemorate local war dead. Pictured here is a banner in memory of Flight Sergeant H.L. Davis. On May 28, 1942, F/Sgt Davis was serving in No. 1443 (Ferry Training) Flight, stationed at RAF Harwell, England; he was flying as the 2nd pilot of a Wellington bomber, engaged in a fuel consumption test flight in preparation for ferrying the aircraft to the Middle East. Near Dolgellau, Merionethshire (now Gwynedd), Wales, the aircraft entered cloud and flew into the northeast face of Mynydd Moel, impacting the mountain just below its summit. All the airmen aboard were killed, including another Canadian, an Australian and three Britons. (Image taken by Gregory J. Barker of Barrie, Ontario, in 2020.)
